Formation
Part 1 – Flower Center
Make a magic ring.
Round 1
CH 3.
Work 15 DC into the ring.
Pull the ring closed.
Join with SL ST into the top of the beginning CH 3.
Total:
16 DC
Round 2 – Center Expansion
CH 3.
Work 1 additional DC into the same stitch.
Work 2 DC into every stitch around.
Join.
Total:
32 DC
Part 2 – Open Spoke Round
CH 5.
SK 1 stitch.
SC into next stitch.
Repeat:
CH 5, SK 1 ST, SC into next ST
around.
Join with SL ST.
You should have evenly spaced chain loops around the flower center.
Part 3 – Large Petals
SL ST into the first CH-5 space.
Into the space work:
SC, HDC, 3 DC, 2 TR, 3 DC, HDC, SC
This creates one large petal.
Repeat the same sequence into every CH-5 space.
Continue around.
Join with SL ST.
The flower should now have a full circle of raised petals.
Part 4 – Petal Definition
Work behind the petals.
Attach yarn between two petals.
CH 4.
SL ST behind the next petal.
Repeat around.
These loops help separate the petals visually.
Part 5 – Beginning the Square
Work into the back loops created behind the flower.
At four evenly spaced points, create corners.
Corner Section
Work:
3 DC, CH 3, 3 DC
into the same loop.
Between corners, work:
CH 3, SC into next loop
Repeat until all four corners are formed.
Join.
Round 2 of Square Formation
SL ST into the first corner.
Work:
3 DC, CH 3, 3 DC
into the corner.
Across the side work:
CH 3, SC into next space
Repeat toward the next corner.
At each corner work:
3 DC, CH 3, 3 DC
Continue around.
Part 6 – Open Corner Lace
In the larger open corner spaces work:
SC, CH 5, SC
In the side spaces work:
CH 3, SC
This creates the large open holes visible in the corners of the motif.
Part 7 – Solid Square Frame
CH 3.
Work DC evenly around each side.
In every corner work:
2 DC, CH 2, 2 DC
Continue around.
Join.
Final Frame Round
CH 1.
Work SC into every stitch.
At each corner work:
SC, CH 2, SC
Join and fasten off.
Final Motif Size
Block each square to approximately:
16–20 cm / 6.5–8 in
Every motif must be exactly the same size.
Part 8 – Suggested Motif Count
Throw
7 × 9 squares
Total:
63 motifs
Double Bed
9 × 11 squares
Total:
99 motifs
Queen Bed
10 × 12 squares
Total:
120 motifs
King Bed
12 × 14 squares
Total:
168 motifs
Adjust the count according to the final motif size.
Part 9 – Motif Arrangement
Lay all motifs on a flat surface.
Keep all flower centers facing the same direction.
Arrange them in straight rows.
Because the motifs are made in one color, consistent alignment is especially important.
Part 10 – Joining the Squares
Place two squares with right sides facing.
Using matching olive yarn, insert the hook through corresponding stitches.
Work SC through both motifs.
Continue across the full side.
Fasten off.
Join all motifs into horizontal rows first.
Then join the rows together.
Flat Slip-Stitch Join
For flatter seams:
Place motifs side by side.
Insert the hook through the back loops of corresponding stitches.
Work SL ST across.
This creates a narrow, defined line between motifs.
Invisible Join
Thread a yarn needle.
Use mattress stitch through the corresponding outer loops.
Pull gently after several stitches.
This gives the bedspread a smoother appearance.
